Seems like building Flash explorer-type apps is the new black! A few weeks back, we had the Transition & Tween
Explorer. Now we have a Flash Gradient
Explorer. Maybe the Flex Explorer and the Flex Style
Explorer (warning: needs Flash Player 8.5....AKA 9)
have just inspired folks to build this type of thing! And the rest of us get the benefits!Check out Kinglong's Gradient Explorer! (The link is directly to the SWF file. If you'd can read Chinese or want to use Babelfish on Kinglong's post about the project, go here.) It's a great way to experience how code works in real time. See how and where the little numbers change the way things look instead of just playing around with sliders...and you can always cut and paste the code into your own Flash movies too!
